Shouts turned to screa of hundreds of feet Before Weeks could yell, “He’s loose He’s out Run! Run! Run!,” many panicky voices did it for him

Jimmy Clark deserved a place in Heaven for how quickly he wheeled up the trunk

“Careful,” muttered Weeks “Let’s not drop it”

Feeling in the dark, they lifted the glass box into the trunk, shut the lid, got it back on the cart, and wheeled it out the side door of the ballroohts came on

“House dick!” Clark hissed a warning

“Keep going,” Weeks said coolly “I’ll deal with the dick”

“Hey! Where you going with that?”

Dressed like a college man, Weeks blocked the way so Jimmy could roll his cart out the door, and answered, “Out of here, before I miss my steamer”

By then Weeks had his fingers firerbloeen the eyes He caught the pistol as it dropped, pocketed it, and found Jimmy in the alley The bellboy looked scared stiff
